The game „ISUNGUR – Save your Viking Village“ is a point-and-click adventure for children up to 14 years. The serious game combines knowledge and fun. It takes the player on a journey to the Northern Europe of the year 845 and offers an entertaining and playful way to gain insights into the fascinating culture of the Vikings.
The player‘s viking village was raided; important goods, inventories and the most precious sword of the clan leader were stolen. A hard winter is coming. How will the clan survive? The player finds himself in a Coming-of-Age Story in which he has to prove that he is not a child anymore and able to save his village. This is why the game is called “Isungur” – after an old nordic name for “hero”.

Golda
A documentary by Shani Rozanes, Sagi Bornstein and Udi Nir
Forty years after her death, Golda Meir’s image is still clouded with controversy. While perceived as a feminist icon in many places in the world, in the country she led as a prime minister for five years she’s seen by many as a total failure, a symbol of disgrace. “Madam Prime Minister” invites the viewers to walk in her iconic shoes and reexamine her ground breaking and dramatic years as the first and only female prime minister of Israel.
#uploading_holocaust (Film)
The first documentary entirely composed of existing YouTube material, showing how young Israelis deal with the memory of the Holocaust in the digital age
Thousands of young Israelis join "The journey to Poland" each year to learn about the holocaust. Looking into the journey through the videos they upload on YouTube reviles a moving and troubling image of the Israeli narrative and the way collective memory is formed in the web age.
In the YouTube clips they create, students share private and moving moments of fear and despair - unmediated testimonies of themselves trying to make sense of the insane. Using these clips as raw material, we follow the journey to Poland from a variety of intimate points of view and explore how the personal becomes national, reality becomes cyber and history becomes myth. Have a look at the web project: www.uploading-holocaust.com The DVD can now be purchased directly through us! For personal use the price is 25,52€ including delivery, together with an educational concession the price is 45,22€ including delivery.

Make Love
A trimedial format for TV, WEB & RADIO
The successful Grimme Online award nominated timedial documentary format "MAKE LOVE" is entering its second season, starring Ann-Marlene Henning, author of the worldwide best seller "Make Love" and the new book "Make More Love". In our allegedly enlightened society where sex is omnipresent in the public sphere, the true taboos are the silence, insecurities and knowledge gaps within our private relationships. The documentary series MAKE LOVE takes us into the authentic and individual realities of different couples between the ages of 20 and 100 alongside sexologist, couple therapist and best selling author Ann-Marlene Henning. Her expertise, tact and exhilarant naturalness allow Ann-Marlene Henning to help the couples (and us) break the silence. While interacting with Ann-Marlene Henning, the partners learn to really perceive themselves and their significant other, thus finding true intimacy. Using model couples, MAKING LOVE additionally shows many lesser known facts about good sex - be it alone or in pairs.

The web-based game “ISUNGUR- Save Your Viking Village” (WT: Vikings) takes children and teenagers at the age of 9 to 12 on a journey to Northern Europe of the year 845 and offers a completely new, entertaining and playful way of gaining insights into the fascinating culture of the Vikings.
Today it is possible, thanks to new findings, to straighten out some of the old myths: the Vikings were successful state leaders, they established the oldest parliament in the world (after the Ancient Greeks and the Romans) and modernised jurisdiction in Europe. They operated a global network of trade and successfully maintained relationships from Byzantium to Baghdad. However, the Vikings were also skilful craftsmen and sensitive poets, they attached great importance to cleanliness and enjoyed ice-skating.
We offer a completely new way to learn about the unknown side of the legendary people from the north by joining them with an interactive journey through history. New media solutions are able to extend an interdisciplinary curriculum with innovative and contemporary teaching methods. The combination of documentary video material, interviews, mini-games, film clips, pictures and short texts creates an entertaining knowledge play for the target group. The web-based roleplaying game can be played in single-player mode and offers an exchange with other players in the fields of history, geography, literature, music and ethics. Trough the similarities to the curriculums in 7th and 8th grade classes the game can be used in schools, too. Therefore interactive elements will be linked to conventional teaching methods.
The game will be availabe in German, English and Norwegian.
